- Biological invasions are among the greatest threats to ecosystems biodiversity and conservation
worldwide. Invasive plant species can affect ecosystems by changing fuel properties, affecting fire behavior,
and possibly altering fire regimes through changes in fire type, frequency, season, intensity, severity and
extension. In Brazil, many African grasses have become invasivein the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna), where
fire is an important ecological factor and has been present for at least 10 million years. We intend to discuss
how the presence of invasive plant species may affect fire behavior and regimes by gathering the information
so far available and including some results from a prescribed burn experiment we are carrying out in Central Brazil (Goiás State). We then expect to bring up information to support integrated management plans in the Cerrado reserves.
